Benzema: “Mbappe? This is not the time to talk about those little things”

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema spoke to the press with the rest of his colleagues during today’s Open Media Day ahead of the Champions League final match between Real Madrid and Liverpool next Saturday in Paris.

However, he also sat down with Spain’s Movie Star for an exclusive interview, and the reporter naturally had to ask him what happened with his France teammate Kylian Mbappe, who eventually decided to sign a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain while he was expected to move to Real. Madrid as a free agent.

Last summer, Real Madrid made an offer worth 200 million euros to Paris Saint-Germain to sign Mbappe, but it was rejected. The French player himself refused to renew his contract with the Parisian club and openly declared that he wanted to move to Real Madrid, but his club refused.

Mbappe and Benzema were very close at that time in the French national team’s camps, after the Real Madrid striker returned to the national team’s squad again. But it seems that things will change anymore.

Benzema responded to the question, saying: “Mbappe? I will tell you that we will play the Champions League final on Saturday. This is not the time to talk about these little things. Better not to talk. I’m not angry, I’m just telling you that I’m focused on the Champions League final and it’s more important than listening to other things.”
